United we Stand!!

P.C. – Google

It was a busy day

Like any other Friday

People scattered or in crowd

Moving in and out

Friends chatting aloud

Without any doubt

Naive and unaware

Of the nefarious evil

Of the abominable scare

And it all ended in upheaval

The laughter washed out in blood

The romance lost in scream

By malice racing like a flood

When hatred wins over amity

Harmony is beclouded by enmity

Innocent lives are lost

Some dear ones depart

Paying this horrific cost

To vengeance, to a rageful heart

And we forget and move on

Like any other instance

 Coz nothing of ours is gone

May be just this once

Someday it could be me or you

So I have a promise to make

To forgive and to let go

A blunder or a mistake

To lend my hands when needed

To render mercy when pleaded

To kill the monster within me

Against hatred I shall combat

To spread peace and love

To be the serene white dove

And spread this message around

In unity we shall all someday bond!!

Just a year back, on 22.07.2016, Munich (Germany) was shattered by a horrific incident and the peace and harmony of the city was ruined. Many innocent lives were lost to yet another incident, where hatred won over love, vengeance won over forgiveness, and violence won over peace. But there is always hope, and with this hope we all survive every day in love and happiness. This is my attempt to remember all those who lost their lives, with a heavy heart and teary eyes. Nevertheless, I will always hope for peace and prosperity to prevail in the World.
